I had the same problem. I clicked on remember me option but it wouldn't remember me at all. It's fixed but I don't know how I fixed it. I didn't touch any of the settings. I think it kinda fixed itself. What browser do you use? I use Firefox all the time but I remember using IE a week back or so for FTPing and may have used it to log into CSS. Maybe that fixed it.

I've heard of 'cookies' before, but i'm not quite sure what they are. Could you enlighten me lol?

I only know about the chocolate chip variety.

Dumb question. There's also the chocolate and cream cookies, the plain cookies, the coconut cookies and whole bunch more!

The more boring cookies, as I understand it in my "Technology for dummies is hard" mind, is the information stored on your computer from some websites and so on. So for example, when you chose "Remember me" for email accounts and forums, the "Cookies" are the information stored in your comp to allow the page to keep you logged in.

But me explaining Technology is like a bunch of primary kids explaining Thermonuclear Biophysics (does that even exist? :p) so I'll let someone smart like Cozz to explain better ;)

I've also noticed that when I type really long essay type posts, that when I click 'submit reply' it asks me to log in again. Fairly annoying as I'm never sure if it actually posted my post so to speak. Is this Cookies too?
